What do people think? The house where my son lives with his father has an oak tree in the front yard. At this time of the year there are tons of acorns on the ground. My son has lived there all of his life and since he was diagnosed at age 2, he has never been tempted to pick up an acorn and eat it.

Sounds like a loving mother in the midst of full blown anxiety! Her child is a teenager and the school has a plan for picking up the fallen acorns. Granted, it may have taken this for them to get the plan...

The tree nuts of concern are almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts (filberts), macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts (pignolias), pistachio nuts and walnuts. Peanuts are part of the legume family and are not considered a tree nut.

I fear that "oak trees" will start cropping up as a comeback when parents seeks reasonable accommodations in their kids' schools. It is too extreme and it's really unfortunate that one person's view is held out as if it represents that majority in this community.

We don't permit them in our house, but I'm not going to ask the City to chop down all the oak trees on my street. (They are all oak trees.) I think there's more threat touching the local post box than having acorns on the sidewalk.
